Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, the Member is talking about the actual pay cheque and the delays. For example, our casual hires would have to wait the two weeks before they get their first cheque. The normal process for GNWT employees, until we made this change, would have been that they have gotten cheques sooner, but it made it very difficult for us to calculate sick time or time away and make those adjustments for overtime and so on, and it further delayed when the season ended. That is the reason why we made those changes. Now I see where the Member is coming from on the delay of that first pay cheque. We are planning to put everybody on the same cycle and that was the intent of the decision we made this past winter. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
